A submersible expert who took a trip on the Titan sub with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush in 2019 says the hull made terrifying creaking sounds during their descent.
Karl Stanley said he warned Rush to slow down his Titanic plans after their 12,000-foot descent in the Caribbean.
Rush invited Mr Stanley, who runs an undersea tourist business in Honduras, on the dive in the Bahamas to showcase his Titan sub which had a carbon fiber hull he had designed himself.
